    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to a method and apparatus for controlling the operation of aerial UEs. An example of the method may include: determining whether an aerial UE is in an autonomous mode or in a non-autonomous mode; determining the flight path information of the aerial UE; and reporting the flight path information of the aerial UE. When the aerial UE is in the autonomous mode, the flight path information is reported when a first reporting period expires or the path deviation of the aerial UE is larger than a deviation threshold. When the aerial UE is in the non-autonomous mode, the flight path information is reported when a second reporting period less than the first reporting period expires or when at least one of the flying direction and flying speed of the aerial UE changes. Embodiments of the present disclosure solve the technical problem concerning the control of the operation of aerial UEs based on various behaviors.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present application relate to a method and apparatus for multicast and broadcast services (MBS). An exemplary method includes: determining an association identity (ID) for associating a common layer entity with a first lower layer entity for a multicast data radio bearer (M-DRB) and a second lower layer entity for a unicast data radio bearer (U-DRB); and transmitting configuration information including the association ID. Embodiments of the present application can support dynamic change between the point to multipoint (PTM) mode mode and the point to point (PTP) mode mode while providing lossless and seamless transitions and/or handover between the PTM mode and the PTP mode.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present application relate to methods and apparatuses for handling a conditional handover (CHO) condition in a non terrestrial network (NTN) environment. According to an embodiment of the present application, a method can include: receiving a radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message, wherein the RRC reconfiguration message includes CHO configuration information associated with one or more target candidate cells and a set of CHO execution conditions associated with the one or more target candidate cells; the condition can be based on a measurement result, a distance between a UE and a base station, an absolute time, a timer, a time advance, an elevation angle and the combination of them; evaluating one or more CHO execution conditions associated with each of the one or more target candidate cells; determining whether a CHO execution condition associated with a target candidate cell is satisfied; and in response to satisfying the CHO execution condition, performing a CHO procedure from a source cell to the target candidate cell.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present application relate to methods and apparatuses for a primary secondary cell (PSCell) addition procedure or a PSCell change procedure considering a deactivated state of a secondary cell group (SCG) associated with a PSCell in a multi-radio dual connectivity (MR-DC) scenario under a 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5G system or the like. According to an embodiment of the present application, a method may be performed by a UE and can include: receiving configuration information from a network, wherein the configuration information is associated with a PSCell addition procedure or a PSCell change procedure for a SCG; determining whether the PSCell addition procedure or the PSCell change procedure is successfully completed when the SCG is in a deactivated state; and in response to determining that the PSCell addition procedure or the PSCell change procedure has failed, transmitting failure information to the network.
